Twitter suddenly changed new grad interview process (Rant)

Twitter promised they wouldn’t do online coding assessments on the application page. Someone I know interviewed few months ago and he was asked only domain specific (js stuff for web dev) questions. This afternoon, hundreds of new grads were surprisingly sent hackerrank online assessments. Task is to do 4 LC medium-hard questions in 60 minutes with 2 of them being dynamic programming problems. Wtf smh. #newgrad #interviewquestions

Last yeah I had a referral and passed completely all the OA questions, and then got a denial about 10 months later. Twitter simply just doesn't have the capacity it seems to manage the amount of applicants in a better way.

On Reddit lot of people upvoted and commented on some posts talking about what happened today so I assumed large number of people must have gotten same hackerrank at same time lol

Twitter is as selective as it gets. Everyone knows about Twitter so a lot of students apply every year both for internships/full-time but there are very few roles available. And also keep in mind that a portion of these very few available roles are Diverse hires!

It's so annoying that you have to point out diverse hires. Are you implying they can't meet their quota with qualified diverse hires?

Yes. That’s how it works in tech.

DP is ruining the tech interviews (and OAs) everywhere 😣

recruiters probably got swamped by covid-related explosion in applications and so, some extra filtering had to be done :)
